IBM X3400, fans at full speed

\015 After replacing ram, re-installed the fan cage, the fans keep running at full speed. I've reseated it multiple times per IBM "RETAIN tip: H187965" and made sure its snug but it still runs at full speed. If i unplug it, it breafly runs at idle and then fan start running at full. Per EventLog fan 6 is below threshold, it also gives me fan 5 and fan 2 even though i have only 3 fans in the system. I'm sure its the setup. Please help\015
